    Encore CS3 weird problem with layer break

      Hi again

       

      A very strange problem has just occurred in my long timeline - 3hours 16mins 40sec.

       

      I had set my layer break manually in CS3 to be at 1.39.19.20 (the available "window" was 1.34.46.13 - 1.40.18.21)

      There was a chapter (22) not long after this at 1.39.51.00

      Chapter 23 is at 1.45.10.14

       

      When played back on a DVD player or Windows media player the following happens:

      At the layer break, DVD jumps to chapter 22 [and omits 1.39.19.20-1.39.51.00].

      Just before Chapter 23, chapter 22 plays again; the playing time of the disc increases to 3.21.29. All chapter points after 22 link correctly with the menus, but are later on the DVD than on the timeline, like everything has slipped late.

       

      OK I have got round this by putting the layer break at chapter 22 instead (slightly less elegant but fine) Now it works fine. Any ideas what is going on or just a really weird Encore issue??? Can you not have a chapter so close after a layer break?

       

      This was a PAL project, but exactly the same problem occurred with my almost identical [content-wise] NTSC version, which was built from scratch (ie. not copied from the PAL in any way)

       

      Many thanks

      Daniel
